It's actually kinda absurd that this is 80% of people. That's a ridiculous statistic.

It's not any worse than what healthcare workers do

I would not trust anything that isn't FOSS hardware in this space. Stuff like your phone is one thong, but something that directly connects to your brain? Like, your actual being? Yeah, no, I'd rather keep it as independent and autonomous as possible from the grips of capitalism.

That's true, but they still think it's a future problem.

Having been near an industrial robot arm, it does make me nervous even if it's powered off. It's a giant hunk of steel that has the strength to probably lift up a car and more, nevermind crush your bones.

Also make sure you don't have something like ADHD, often what seems like something that's caused by external factors may in fact be due to internal ones. ADHD can also become more apparent to you, or affect you more, as you get older, at least it did for me.

Not to mention stuff like patents and being secretive for profit, hiding knowledge instead of it being used for the good of all and allowed to be iterated upon. Also monopolizing, undermining others, intentionally sabotaging innovations for profit, wasting a ton of resources and effort on things useless on the grand scheme of things, such as how to manipulate people into buying more of your product.. etc.

Also not seeking the most logical option/investing in the logical technologies, such as intentionally sabotaging climate change/renewable energy efforts in order to earn more from oil sales and so on, and so forth. Capitalism/competition does not breed innovation. Cooperation does. And it shows, because research is very much based on cooperation.. at least researchers love to cooperate in the quest for more knowledge.

DnD is how you get a partner, then you play together!

This will make me more likely to buy certain games, absolutely. And it's really not that I feel ashamed or whatever about them, but more like, I know some people are judgey, and I'd rather not have them in the know lmao. Also work/professional stuff.

Well, if you talk about fake or performative smiles, then yes absolutely. But that wasn't what I thought this was about.

We are talking about a painting from an artist in the court of a Spanish monarch from hundreds of years ago, a type of art that museums strive to maintain via expensive means. We are not talking about more ephemeral art that doesn't get maintained, and is eventually lost to time anyway.

Maintaining of art like this would absolutely be one of the first things to go. There is already often talks about defunding the arts even in peaceful times. Look at "went to an art school" being often thrown around as a joke about being useless even in decent times.
